I just bought this guy today and I'm not too sure how to care for it, does it need to be in a specific pot or repotted immediately? #Sempervivum #Newplantparent #Succulents

Plant slowly getting worse One by one her bulbs have been dying. She was at first with another succulent when this started so I separated her but she's not getting better. Is it a pest or something else?

Hey guys!! I'm new here, just recently started a collection of succulents. And, lol, I thought it would be a good idea to put my succulents in the sun this past Sunday. Instant regret when I saw my succulents only a few hours later. I guess what I'm asking is how far is too far gone for a succulent specifically cob web hen and chicks? She's very very sun bleached. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated 😊
